The Silver Tongued Devil and I--Kris Kristofferson
written by K. Kristofferson
NOTE: The first verse/chorus are largely thanks to Sanoma's tab (I added in a couple
extra chords/base notes).   However, he missed a key-change after the first chorus. 
If you want to go ahead and play it that way, be my guest.   I think this version is
correct, however.   If not, any corrections are welcome.

CAPO I


 (Key G# play G)
INTRO: G

G                         G/B
I took myself down to the Tally-Ho Tavern
   C        Cadd9     G/B
To buy me a bottle of beer
C                      G
And I sat me down by a tender young maiden
       C                       G/B
Whose eyes were as dark as her hair
     G                      G/B
And as I was searchin' from bottle to bottle
       C         Cadd9     G/B
For somethin' unfoolish to say
     C                         G/B               G
That silver tongued devil just slipped from the shadows
      D        D/F#      G
And smilingly stole her away


CHORUS 1:
                                                   G/B
And I said hey little girl don't you know he's the devil
C        Cadd9         G/B
He's everything that I ain't
C                    G      C                    G/B
Hidin' intentions of evil, under the smile of a saint
          G                     G/B
All he's good for is gettin' in trouble
     C           Cadd9        G/B
And shiftin' his share of the blame
    C                         G
And some people swear he's my double
    C          Cadd9        G/B
And some even say we're the same
         G               G/B        G         G/B
But the silver tongued devil's got nothin' to lose
C          Cadd9      G/B
I'll only live 'til I die
    C                       G/B          G    (take a pause)
We take our own chances and pay our own dues
     D             D/F#      G
The silver tongued devil and I


(key change to Bb, play A)

A                                A7
Like all the fair maidens who've laid down beside him
     D          Dsus2          A7
She knew in her heart that he lied
D                      A7          A
Nothin' that I coulda said coulda saved her
    D                     A7      A
No matter hard that she tried
                                                      A7
'Cause she'll offer her charms to the darkness and danger
      D            Dsus2       A7
Of somethin' that she's never known
    D                     A7           A
And open her arms at the smile of the stranger
       E              E/G      E-A
Who'll love her then leave her alone


CHORUS 2:
                      A7    
And ya know he's the devil 
D         Dsus2        A7
He's everything that I ain't
D                     A      D                   A7
Hidin' intentions of evil, under the smile of a saint
         A                      A7
All he's good for is gettin' in trouble
     D            Dsus2        A7
And shiftin' his share of the blame
      D                        A
And some people swear he's my double
     D        Dsus2          A7
And some even say we're the same
         A              A7         A          A7
But the silver tongued devil's got nothin' to lose
D          Dsus2      A7
I'll only live 'til I die
    D                       A7           A     (an even longer pause)
We take our own chances and pay our own dues
      E            E/G       A
The silver tongued devil and I



*NOTE: Some of the A7's, I think, are A/C#.   I can't tell which ones (there doesn't
seem to be a logical pattern to it), so I just play all A7's.   Use your own
discretion, I suppose.
